More Oregon Pictures

Here's some pictures from our last days in Oregon. I think I mentioned before how amazing the house was that we stayed in - we had to get a picture on the front porch! The group picture is all of us "The Gang". It was so much fun hanging out with everyone! And the picture in front of the fireplace is our 'Ohana and the Utrillo 'Ohana - just before we're leaving to go to Anaheim!

Oregon Pictures So Far

Today was a beautiful day! We went on a horse drawn carriage ride today. Ryenne was in heaven. She loved the horses so much! It's cold and beautiful out here. The snow is magical and sparkles in the sunlight.

It is a strange place though - definitely not as culturally diverse as Hawaii is. This entire time I have not seen one Asian person, any black people, and I only saw three Mexicans. Strange!!

We Saw Snow!!

We're in Oregon right now for Heidi & Aris' wedding and we woke up this morning to see snow falling for the first time! It was so amazing! We're staying in a 5000 square foot home in Sunriver with an indoor pool. It's an amazing home!

We're taking lots of pictures and will be posting soon!

More Pictures

Sorry... these were supposed to be the first pics on the previous post but they didn't upload.

Christmas Day

We got home from Napili at 1am so I didn't have a chance to make cookies and leave them for Santa. I was exhausted!! So I think next year we'll re-think the back-to-back Napili/Haiku scenario and figure out how to make it easier on me!

We had a wonderful Christmas! I woke up at 8:30am and started making breakfast. Ry woke up at 10am and everyone came over. We had a country breakfast of scrambled eggs with cheese, biscuits, sausage gravy, potatoes with onions, bacon, and some blackberries.

Then we did stockings and gifts. Some of the highlights are the rock-a-boat that Nick restored for Ryenne. It was mine as a little girl and he did such an amazing job at bringing it back to life! Kekoa got Nico a heater and it was so nice to see a brotherly bond come back between them.

Another of my favorite things was the pickle boxers that I had found. I wrapped them up for Nick and he was so stoked he put them on right then and there!

Peter got me a beautiful silver and crystal bracelet with Ryenne's name on it. I got him a part for his car that he wanted. Ryenne made out like a bandit with lots of toys, new clothes, and of course her rock-a-boat!

It was such a wonderful day!!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve started out with Ryenne getting her advent calendar chocolate. It was the last one of the month. I showed her that it was the last one and she insisted on tearing the calendar apart just to make sure! It was so funny!

Peter worked until 9pm so me and Ry cruised around during the day and then headed over to Peter's parents house for our Christmas with them. We had beef stew, rice, Korean chicken, and banana lumpia. Ryenne ate a big kids amount of stew and rice. When Peter got there we did some gifts. Landon kept trying to take Ry's gifts and she was shooing him away. For some reason he liked hers more than his own! Ryenne also got an Elmo stuffed animal that's as big as she is! It's now in her bed and she loves it!

Even Princesses Need Coupons!

Two of my favorite images from today...

Ry loves being a princess. I thought it was hilarious when she picked up th sale flyers and started 'reading'. Too cute!

'Tis the Season!!!

It's definitely the Holiday Season out here in Haiku! We've been enjoying the rainy, cool weather a lot!

I'm not sure if the captions are going to line up with the right pictures... so thanks for your patience in advance! haha


Ry has started out the month with her advent calendar... counting down the days until Christmas! She loves eating her "pocolate" everyday!




We love our Sam Sato's noodles! Ry eats every last bit we put in her bowl and she loves barbeque sticks! She loves her handsome daddy too!



Dominic and LeeAnn got married on the 8th. Ryenne was the flower girl and Peter was a groomsman. We clean up pretty nice I think!



I just love this picture of Ry leaping for the camera!



We went for a baby Christmas party at the Weisberger's house and the kids had so much fun! Except when we tried to get a group pic of the kids, Ry freaked!





And these last pictures are from today! Ryenne has a toddler bed! So far she's slept 3 hours in it last night before climbing into bed with us, and she also had a nap in there today. I am always talking about it like I'm soooo excited and happy for her. So far she's not fought to much with getting in. I think she thinks it's pretty cool!

Rockin' the Dress!!!

Ry loves her new Christmas dress!!! Thanks Gams!

She had her 18 month appointment on Thursday and she's 30.5" tall and weighs 20 pounds (still).

Ballerina

I got a cheap backdrop holder and put up the white backdrop. Ryenne had so much fun in the ballerina tutu! The purple looks awesome on her!
